Chris Jericho is truly a veteran in the pro wrestling business. Jericho has competed in various promotions all over the world in his career which has spanned more than 30 years. He also doesn’t care about his job title in AEW.
Chris Jericho also debuted in 2019 and was the first ever AEW World Champion, as he carried the company through the first. He has remained one of the mainstays of the company since then.
While speaking to Inside The Ropes, Chris Jericho was asked about the recent restructuring within the company where several people were promoted. Jericho made it clear he doesn’t care about his job title in AEW.
“I don’t need a job title to help the company. I do it every day. Whenever I show up to TV, it’s a constant. Constant working from two o’clock until the show is over. If I’m wrestling or not.” said Chris Jericho, “That’s the way it should be. There’s not a lot of guys that have been doing this as long as I have. In our locker room there’s Sting, there’s Dustin Rhodes and then there’s me.
I’m one of the original AEW guys, probably was very integral in getting the company off the ground in a lot of ways. So I don’t have a problem with giving advice and helping people. It’s what I’m there for. It’s part of my job. Like I said there’s nothing to be written on a business card, you know, Director of EVP or whatever the f*** it is, who cares. I’m Chris Jericho. That trumps all of that.”
Chris Jericho is set to face off against Bryan Danielson on AEW Dynamite next week in the semi-finals of the AEW World Title tournament. We’ll have to see if he wins or not.
